Ashton facelift on the table
DALEEN FOUCÉ
A bridge 20 metres above the surface is part of a proposed facelift for the Ashton Main Road. Interested and affected parties were invited last week to have their say about a proposed amendment to the environment authorisation for the upgrade of the Kogmanskloof pass, also known as Trunk Road. The Kogmanskloof upgrades were approved in February this year and will see the road between Ashton and Montagu broadened as well as an upgrade of the R60 intersection, general beautification of picnic sites and measures to prevent flood damage as far as possible. Construction on the
Kogmanskloof Road is set to start in November this year, with an estimated duration of two years. Al-Ameen Kafaar, spokesperson for the Western Cape Department of Transport and Public Works, says the Ashton upgrades were not included in the original proposals, but he could not provide information as to why the new amendments were proposed at the time of going to print. The proposed upgrade of the Ashton Main Road includes the widening of the road to two lanes in each direction. Furthermore, a new bridge is proposed that will have two 3,4 m wide lanes in each direction as well as a 2,4 m wide sidewalk on each side for pedestrians. The new bridge will be built along-

Once the new bridge is finished, the current bridge will be demolished and the new bridge moved into place to align with the road. According to Fuad Fredericks from CCA Environmental, this procedure is being considered because

there are no alternative routes available. “It will allow continued twoway traffic flow during the entire construction phase. Otherwise stop and go conditions would be required for the full two-year construction period.” Nassos Martallas, CEO of Ashton Langeberg Foods, welcomed the pro-
posed upgrades. “We will support any measures that will improve transport in the area.” Martallas said that Ashton Langeberg foods will support the upgrade in terms of property that needs to be expropriated. The project is also supported by the Langeberg Municipality. The original Ashton Bridge was completed in the 1930s and widened in 1950. The bridge was submerged by water during the 2003 flood. Interested and affected parties have until 7 June to submit comments to Eloise Costandius from CCA Environmental at eloise@ccaenvironmental.co.za on the proposed amendments to the environmental authorisation of the Kogmanskloof project.

Meet your local SPCA inspector ) What is your name and surname? Lesley Beviss-Challinor, inspector for the SPCA. ) What is the name of your business and where is it situated? Winelands SPCA, situated in Goree Road, Ashton (Near the traffic department). ) What kind of business do you run? We are a society aiding in the prevention of cruelty to all animals. We try to achieve this first
and foremost through education and awareness. We are pro-active and re-active in all areas where animal neglect, abuse and deliberate cruelty may occur. If necessary, we prosecute offenders under the Animal’s Protection Act no. 71 of 1962. ) What is your favourite product or service? Our favourite service is to help willing and concerned owners better the lives of their animals, be it pets or farmed, and seeing the
difference this makes to the wellbeing and happiness of both parties. ) When and how did you start your business? For many years (since before I came to Ashton in 1985), there were three SPCAs in our area. When the municipalities amalgamated, it made sense to amalgamate the SPCAs. Thus Winelands SPCA came into being in 2006. ) Where do you see your business in five years?
With a society that relies entirely upon public support and donations, our greatest hope is that we still have the finances with which to continue our work. No doubt, with rising costs affecting all, there will be the same problems in the future as we encounter today. However, through perseverance and education we trust we shall make a difference to the lives of those who share our world. ) What is your business motto? We speak for those that can’t!

Tariffs increase in July
DALEEN FOUCHÉ Langeberg residents can expect an average increase of 7,5% in services from July 2013 if the proposed budget for the 2013-14 financial year is approved by council at its next meeting on 28 May. The water tariff will increase by 7,5%; sanitation will increase by 7,8%; refuse by 8,5% and electricity by 7%. Soyisile Mokweni, Municipal Manager, says the increase in tariffs is needed to cover
the increases in the various expenditure categories, including a 7,95% increase in salaries and 8% increase in the bulk purchase of water and electricity. “The draft budget for 2013-14 is deemed responsive to economic growth objectives and the socio-economic needs, as well as national and provincial priorities, while it is also regarded as credible and sustainable as per local government’s Medium Term Expenditure Committee assessment report from the provincial Treasury and Department of Local Government.” To view the draft budget, visit www.langeberg.gov.za.

Die Robertson Vryburgers in samewerking met die World Motorsport SA (Womza), bied op 25 Mei weereens hulle gewilde 4x4-dag aan by Appelsdrift in Le Chasseur. Die 4x4-dag vorm deel van die World Motorsport SA (Womza) se klubkampioenskap. Daar sal tien hindernis- bane wees. Die dag begin om 09:00, maar deelnemers
kan van 06:30 inskryf. Toegang is R40 vir volwassenes en R20 vir kinders. Die dag dien as geldinsameling vir die Elizabeth Jordaanfonds. Vir meer inligting oor die dag en hoe om deel te neem, bel vir Marie Naudé by 083 725 4140 of Kosie van Deventer by 084 326 1752 of besoek www.womzasa.co.za.
Plaaslike owerhede het die openbare deelname met die voorgestelde begroting verwelkom, maar meen dat die gemeenskap selfs by besluitneming betrokke kan wees. Die voorgestelde begroting is blootgestel aan ’n openbare deelnameproses wat tot 30 April geduur het en sal nou by die volgende raadsvergadering op 28 Mei deur die raad vir goedkeuring oorweeg word. Sewe openbare vergaderings is gehou in die Langeberg, waar die voorgestelde begroting, sowel as die Geïntegreerde Ontwikkelingsplan (GOP), bespreek is. Soyisile Mokweni, bestuurder van die Langebergmunisipaliteit, sê vergaderings is “oor die algemeen” goed bygewoon met konstruktiewe terugvoering van die publiek. Hy verduidelik dat dit uiters belangrik is vir ’n ge-
meenskap om eienaarskap te neem oor hul eie ontwikkeling deur deel te neem aan die publieke prosesse. Tog versoek Mokweni dat die gemeenskap terugvoering moet gee oor hoe die munisipaliteit die gemeenskap moet nader om verdere deelname met betrekking tot munisipale sake te verseker. Hansie Wolfaardt, voorsitter van die Bonnievale Sakekamer, het die begroting as “baie gedetailleerd” beskryf, “soveel so, dat dit heeltemal verwarrend vir die mense is wat dit sou oopmaak en nie weet waar hy wat moet gaan soek nie, maar vir die finansiële persone is dit baie volledig”. Hy stel voor dat die munisipaliteit die voorgestelde begroting meer toeganklik moet maak deur ’n opsomming van die dokument te verskaf en dit by meer plekke beskikbaar te stel. “Ons vind dit effe teleurstellend dat salarisse jaar-
liks teen hoër persentasies as die inflasiekoers aanbeveel word, al is dit die aanbevole persentasie van die nasionale regering.” Wolfaardt het ook sy kommer uitgespreek oor die aantal mense wat “vrydienste” van die munisipaliteit ontvang. Willem Kruger, voorsitter van die Robertson Sakekamer, het die bekommernis herhaal en meen dat die munisipaliteit “versigtig” moet wees om nie te veel subsidies uit te deel nie. Kruger het egter die munisipaliteit geprys vir die beplande opgradering van infrastruktuur in die Langeberg. Hy het ook genoem dat die voorgestelde begroting “baie beter” as die vorige jaar se begroting is. Die Langeberg-munisipaliteit het teen druktyd nog nie gereageer op die kommentaar van die sakekamers nie.

Reserve to be extended DALEEN FOUCH
A proposal to extend the Vrolijkheid Nature reserve in order to safeguard the unique plant life of the region was the topic of discussion during the Friends of Vrolijkheid annual general meeting (AGM). The friends gathered on Thursday 16 May at the Vrolijkheid hall and were warmly greeted with a glass of wine and snacks before proceedings started. Piet van Zyl, manager of Vrolijkheid – a CapeNature Nature reserve – reported back on the Friends of Vrolijkeid’s financial situation and the planned project. He said that the plan to build a new entrance to Vrolijkheidin to attract and welcome visitors are in the pipeline. Plans have been submit-
ted to the municipality and the friends are awaiting approval. Van Zyl said the friends have enough funds to finance the labour of the project. Cape Nature will pay for the material needed for the project. Van Zyl introduced Nick Helme, a freelance botanist who’s latest project involved the unique plant life of the Greater Cape Floristic Region (previously known as the Cape Floral Kingdom). Helme told the friends that the Breede River Valley has unique and diverse plant life that was previously neglected by Botanists. He said that CapeNature, with the help of the Lesley Hill Succulent Trust Fund, which is managed by World Wildlife Fund, are exploring options to extend Vrolijkheid to the north and to the south. Helme explained that the
Lesley Hill Suculent Trust Fund has the means to buy the necessary land but the success of the project relies on landowners “willingness” to sell land. Helme shared photos of the various unique plants that he discovered and photographed while doing field work in the Langeberg. He shared newly discovered species and plant species that have not yet been scientifically described. Helme says there are over 160 known plant species that are endemic to the Breede River Valley and over 400 plant species that occur in the Breede River Valley and are endangered. The evening was concluded with an applause for the outgoing members of the Friends of Vrolijkheid executive committee and a warm welcome to new members.
Montagu-projek ’n sukses Die Reënboogkinders-projek om kinders van Montagu se strate af te kry word goed ondersteun deur die Montagu-gemeenskap. So sê Sanja van de Sande, ’n Montagu-inwoner wat verlede jaar dié projek begin om plaaslike kinders van die strate af te hou (“Street children helped”, Breederivier Gazette, 13 November 2012). Van de Sande rapporteer dat daar reeds vordering gemaak is. Sy sê haar beroep op mense om nie vir dié kinders geld of kos te gee nie, is baie goed ontvang deur die gemeenskap.
“Die Polisieforum, winkels, gastehuise, hotelle, restaurante, die museum en toerisme kantoor het almal positief gereageer en gehelp.” Van de Sande verduidelik dat skole en die Nieuwe Horizons-sentrum kos aan die kinders verskaf, maar dat kinders eerder wil bedel vir kos as om skool toe te gaan. Om die program verder uit te brei word daar tydens vakansietye sportfunksies by Mandela Square aangebied, maar Van de Sande sê daar word nog hulp met die funksies benodig. Van de Sande sê die pro-
gram kon ook nie sonder die samewerking van die polisie gedoen word nie en versoek die gemeenskap om die polisie te laat weet as straatkinders onder die ouderdom van 15 in die dorp gesien word, sodat die kinders na skole en naskoolprogramme geneem kan word. Talle kinders is sedert die begin van die projek deur die Montagu gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum (GPF) by skole geregistreer.

Wynbedryf verwag rekordoes vanjaar N
á ’n laat en stadige begin het die 2013-seisoen die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf se verwagtinge oortref en gaan hy die grootste wyndruifoes ooit verwerk. Volgens ’n Vinpro-verslag is die oes later as gewoonlik en oor ’n kort tydperk ingeneem. ’n Koue, nat winter – ideale weerstoestande tydens die blom- en setperiode – en gematigde weer gedurende parstyd regdeur die verskillende wynbougebiede, het bygedra tot die grootte en gehalte van vanjaar se oes. “Dit was ook ’n besonder gesonde jaar, met effektiewe siekte- en plaagbeheer deur produsente, waar nodig,” lees die verslag. Met die uitsondering van Robertson word groter oeste in al die wyndistrikte verwag, met rekordoeste in Olifantsrivier, Breedekloof en Worcester. Ná twee droë en, gevolglik klein oesjare, het Malmesbury hierdie jaar ’n heelwat groter oes gerealiseer en in die Oranjerivier is dit duidelik
dat wingerde nou herstel van die vloedskade in 2011. Die totale oes is 4,6% hoër as die rekordoes in 2008 en hoë gehalte wyne word uit die 2013-oesjaar verwag. Robertson se 2013 oes is 236 102 ton, 2% kleiner as die rekordoes in 2012. Hennie Visser, VinPro konsultant vir die Robertson-
streek, meen egter dit is steeds ’n uitstekende oes. Hy sê die groot oes in die Robertson-streek kan toegeskryf word aan voldoende besproeiingswater, veral waar produsente afhanklik is van bergwater, wat baie trosse en goeie set tot gevolg gehad het. “Daar is ook steeds ’n daadwerklike poging van produsente om produksies te verhoog omdat winsgewendheid onder druk is, en die netto hektare onder wyndruiwe neem steeds toe.” Visser sê produksies wissel baie tussen blokke, maar
Pinotage-opbrengste het baie toegeneem en Chardonnay en Sauvignon Blanc het ook groter produksies opgelewer. “Dit sal onthou word as ’n laat oesjaar met baie uitdagings, bogemiddelde kwaliteit en goeie produksies.” Van middel Mei tot middel Junie 2012 het baie goeie koue met bogemiddelde reënval voorgekom. Reënval van Mei tot Augustus was 51% hoër as die langtermyngemiddelde, wat voordelig was vir die groei van dekgewasse. Visser meen alhoewel produksies hoog was, vertoon die rooiwyne se kleur goed en lyk die gehalte belowend. Van die witwyne staan Chardonnay se gehalte tans uit. “Die groot oes en gelyktydige rypwording van vroeë en laat kultivars soos Shiraz, Ruby Cabernet en Cabernet Sauvignon het tot groot druk op kelderspasie gelei. Daar was gelukkig min reëndae en dus nie onderbrekings tydens pars nie.” Volgens wynmakers is die verhaling normaal en nie buitengewoon hoog of laag nie.

German volunteers visit McGregor Waldorf School The McGregor Waldorf School hosts overseas volunteers all year round. Mostly young people taking “time out” from their regular lives at home. Some want to experience another culture or country,
some seek to find direction in life, some explore being independent while others need to gain practical experience for their studies. But whatever the reason for their time out, all of them give their time and engage with the staff and children at the school.
The children come to love them and the staff appreciate the extra pair of hands, ears and eyes. Both the school and the young volunteers emerge enriched from the experience. The McGregor Waldorf School thanks all volunteers past, present and future.
